Xie Jinyao searched the entire Jinluzhai, but still couldn't find Ye Zhen.
"She must have realized I was following her, so she went out through the back door."
I knew she was still injured, so why was she in such a hurry to go out? She must be hiding something from me.
Xie Jinyao returned to the carriage and instructed, "Send two people to block the back gate. Report to me immediately if she appears."
She usually had countless servants when she went out, but today she didn't want to be ostentatious, though she still brought several guards with her.
Ye Zhen's carriage is still here. She will definitely come back through the back door again and pretend to be in Jinluzhai.
Xie Jinyao was so certain, and there was excitement in her eyes.
Just when I was wondering how to find something to use against Ye Zhen, she delivered herself right to my doorstep.
After leaving the Wu family, Ye Zhen took Wanxing and Wu Youmi to an ordinary clothing store.
I picked out two sets for myself and two sets for each of my two daughters.
Wu Youmi refused to accept it.
Ye Zhen threatened the siblings, and she harbored a prejudice against him.
But Ye Zhen's threats were indeed effective. She wanted to avenge her eldest brother and didn't want to implicate her second brother, so she persuaded him to come out with Ye Zhen.
But she was very wary of Ye Zhen.
Ye Zhen didn't insist, and after Wanxing paid the bill, he went to the jewelry shop next door.
This time, she only picked out two items for herself and Wanxing each, and then added some other miscellaneous items, without concealing her whereabouts.
Finally, he took the two of them into a restaurant.
As the dishes were served, Ye Zhen said, "Sit down and eat with us."
Wanxing and Yezhen grew up together and often ate at the same table. However, when they arrived at the Marquis's residence, the rules were strict, and she was forbidden from sitting at the same table as her master.
But when the two of them went out in private, Ye Zhen would always make her behave as she did in the south, so Wanxing sat down after receiving the order.
Wu Youmi neither wanted to nor dared to move, so he stood still.
After walking around for a while, I was already hungry, and the food was delicious that I had never eaten before, so I subconsciously swallowed.
Ye Zhen seemed oblivious to her predicament. "Revenge takes time. How long can you go without food and water?"
I don't keep useless people around me. If you starve and become useless to me, I will inform the young lady of your second brother's whereabouts.
Wanxing stood up and pulled Wu Youmi to sit beside her. "Eat up. You'll see from now on that my young lady is a good person."
Although she didn't know why the young lady was using such harsh methods against the Wu siblings.
But in Wanxing's heart, her young lady was beautiful and kind-hearted, and would never be the kind of person to bully children.
There must be a reason why you did it, Miss.
Wu Youmi disagreed with Wanxing's words.
No good person would threaten others so easily.
Tears welled up in her eyes, but she was afraid that Ye Zhen would really let Xie Jinyao deal with Wu Er.
He had no choice but to pick up his chopsticks shakily and shovel large mouthfuls of rice into his mouth.
A chicken leg appeared in the bowl. Ye Zhen said expressionlessly, "The people around Miss are very arrogant. If you're with me, you'll have to help fight occasionally."
Eating only rice and no vegetables won't give you much strength. If you can't beat me, then I'll...
Before she could finish speaking, Wu Youmi bit off half a chicken leg and mumbled, "I'll be good, just don't hurt my second brother..."
This person is good or bad.
She threatened her second brother not to act on his own, or she would kill him.
Now she's using her second brother to blackmail her.
As expected, few of the powerful and wealthy are good people.
Thinking this, even the chicken leg in my mouth tasted bitter.
Ye Zhen concealed the smile in his eyes, "It depends on your performance."
Wanxing laughed too, saying that her young lady was cold on the outside but warm on the inside, how could she really bully a child? She also put a piece of roasted pork into Wu Youmi's bowl.
Wu Youmi dared not hesitate any longer, and after that, no matter what Wanxing put on her plate, she ate it all up.
After the meal, Ye Zhen said, "Your name can't be used for now. From now on, you'll be called Morning Dew."
The morning dew symbolizes new life, and it is hoped that the siblings can change their past misfortunes.
Wu Youmi knew that he had to hide his identity to enter the Marquis's mansion, so he nodded.
After leaving the restaurant, the three of them strolled all the way to the entrance of Jinluzhai.
Xie Jinyao was still waiting to find fault with Ye Zhen, but she didn't expect that Ye Zhen would not sneak out through the back door, but instead swagger out of the main gate of Jinluzhai.
And her maid was rubbing her stomach, looking like she had eaten too much.
Her plan had fallen through, and she was already annoyed. Seeing this, her anger, which had just subsided, flared up again.
She waited in the carriage for most of the day to keep watch on Ye Zhen, without even having lunch, while Ye Zhen and the others ate and drank their fill.
That's absolutely outrageous.
She noticed a new face next to Ye Zhen. Could this be Ye Zhen's helper?
With a quick glance around, Xie Jinyao gave a few instructions to her maid, then got off the carriage and walked up to Ye Zhen.
"Ye Zhen, who is this? You're not even in charge of the household yet, and you're already trying to bring your poor relatives into the mansion to beg for money?"
As they were talking, her maid pretended to lose her footing and forcefully bumped into Chaolu.
Xie Jinyao wanted to test whether Chaolu had any fighting skills.
Ye Zhen seemed to only notice her now, and pulled Chao Lu over, saying happily, "Jin Yao, what are you doing here too?"
"Chao Lu, this is the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Zhongyong's household. Quickly, pay your respects."
When Chaolu was pulled away, the maid didn't bump into anyone, but couldn't stop in time and ended up falling flat on her face.
He was in a very sorry state.
Ye Zhen was startled and quickly told Wanxing to help the maid up. "Jinyao, your maid has fallen quite hard. Should Wanxing accompany her to the clinic?"
Xie Jinyao heard her calling her name over and over again, and wished she could shut her up. She glanced at the maid and thought, "Useless thing."
The maidservant, having failed in her task, hurriedly replied, "I'm fine."
Ye Zhen spoke up again before Xie Jinyao could, "Let's go take a look."
I was looking for some gifts for my parents, but I rarely go into high-end shops like Jinluzhai because I'm worried I won't be able to judge their quality and won't dare to buy anything.
